What participants are saying

The following are messages from survivors and advocates who have taken our classes and workshops

This was wonderful and such a blessing.

The FinAbility classes are a much-needed support for survivors of domestic abuse. They help to teach and empower survivors to move forward and reach for a stable financial future. The step -by-step classes helped me to learn a much needed skill and boosted my ability to manage my finances.

Financial abuse is another form of domestic violence commonly used. Often if the victim does escape they have to start all over again...these courses are vital for victims starting over.

This class was extremely helpful in showing me how to look at overall expenses and tracking. I can use this when strategizing savings goals.

I am freshly out of a 37-year domestic violence marriage situation and divorced, disabled and on my own. Just connecting with others through the class and getting great information gave me hope.😃 Thanks so much.

I'm a domestic violence advocate and this class will help me share some knowledge with my clients...I strongly recommend it and I can't wait for the future sessions.

This class helped me look deeper into my financial goals and get a good idea on how to start making smarter choices financially. I think it would be beneficial to anyone that needs help setting goals or starting over and needs a little advice on how to make the most of their finances.

10 out of 10! I'm telling everyone to take these.

Free, trauma-informed, and survivor-specific
